How do you notice when you're rationalizing? Like, what *actually* tips you off, in real life?
I've listed my cues below; please add your own (one idea per comment), and upvote the comments that you either: (a) use; or (b) will now try using.
I'll be using this list in a trial rationality seminar on Wednesday; it also sounds useful in general.
I think I perceive pattern in my speech, possibly a change of tone in my voice, certain pattern of thoughts (repetitive) and goals (convincing others/self).
That's helpful. Can you be more specific?
